Theres actually quite a difference. Fantasia and Gals Panic used real models for the pictures from what ive seen....

The one i remembered in the arcade and which is now finally in mame (called Perestroika Girls) had cartoon pictures that you had to 'ahem' uncover !! And the game also had an very qix feel to it.... basically cause it was the original qix board but with modified graphics.

Theres still some games that im looking to identify, not adult stuff, in particular this really cool motorbike game which had nice graphics for its time....

Maybe I need to brush up on exactly which games we're referring to, but from what I recall, Gals Panic DOES use cartoons. They're just not the stereotypical "japanimation characters" you tend to see in hentai ("pervert") pr0n. In fact, Gals Panic (or maybe Gals Panic 2) had both cartoonized versions of the women and then "photos" of them. The cartoons being "based" (traced) from the photographs. But its nothing new...

Still, there ARE games that use "real models" (digitized pictures of scantily clad/nude women) such as Miss World '96 Nude, which were in Mame already.

In fact, from what I know.. only the Mahjong games use "anime hentai" style pr0n in them, of all the pr0n games that Mame supports (though maybe the "quiz" games too, but I haven't checked) and maybe Whoopi!(sp?).

Now I haven't played Perestroika Girls (just seen the screenshots), so I can't say for sure. One thing that does differentiate the original QIX from the spinoffs I've seen is that they lack variable draw speed, and include stuff like a "power bar" (at the top, for how well you "outlined" the girlie picture, which is the point in the pr0n games) and two player simultaneous modes (and the fact that if you try to "redraw" an area you already did, your line burns like a fuse). I may have missed some other differences...

Ah well.. at least somebody's nostalgic memories of spending time in a Japanese Peepshow arcade will be forever immortalized in this wonderful emulator of our's.

Actually, it's pretty much always been like that. Back in the day, when mame first started coming out, releases were sometimes like every week or two. In fact, there were a couple releases back to back sometimes.-SC

Well, I got myself into MAME at 0.57 I think, and at that times new version was released each two months aprox... and 0.61 or 0.62 (cannot remember well) took a lot of time more than the previous ones... so this kind of "frantic" releases is a bit scaring

So "Qix" is the original name for the games in which you outline photo images...I've always wondered if it was just a pr0n thing.

I still can't figure out how to do well in games like Fantasia and Miss World Nude though....it seems that if you DON'T draw on the flashing parts of the model itself, you get "points" (+1-5), and if you just make little sketches at a time, you won't "lose" any "points". If you "hurt" the model by making too large of a sketch you lose the points.....so I don't really understand the purpose of it.

Then there are real points at the bottom of the screen which seem to be awarded independently of whether or not I gain +1-5 or lose it.
